The interview was conducted entirely over email, and I was offered the job without having ever met my prospective employer face to face, nor talked with him directly. I was in Thailand at the time, having just completed a CELTA course, and was wondering where to go next. I was considering teaching somewhere in Southeast Asia or the Middle East; having lived and worked for many years in Japan I hadn't seriously considered going back anytime soon, but a coincidental Facebook conversation with a gentleman I knew from a bodybuilding forum resulted in him offering me a job on the spot.
